Securing Edge Applications
Highlights from a new survey of IT leaders on the future of edge security
Distributed data demands distributed defense
IoT, robotics, AR/VR are driving distributed compute, network and storage, extending the enterprise perimeter across broader expanses.
Edge-based applications and data now extend beyond and between existing on-prem and cloud-based computing. This new infrastructure paradigm requires a holistic/integrated security approach that covers gaps in hybrid infrastructure with built-in threat protection. Read what 1.1K+ IT leaders in 10 countries are looking for in edge security.
XX%
IT Pros have significant concerns about security at the edge.
The perimeter is not enough
Security measures need to extend data and application protection to any on- or off-premises location across the entire hybrid infrastructure and beyond.
XX%
of organizations strongly or somewhat agree that perimeter-based security is no longer sufficient to protect business, employees, and customers from cyber-attacks.
Don’t rely on 5G alone
As 5G integration grows, most ITDMs in general lack confidence in using 5G networks and don’t really trust current 5G security.
XX%
of organizations have significant security concerns about using 5G networks.
Edge security takes end-to-end management
XX%
of organizations strongly or somewhat agree they need a technology partner that can help them better understand Edge Computing and how we can best harness Edge Solutions for our business.
Edge protection begins with partnership
As latency-sensitive, data-intensive apps push edge computing security measures across distributed networks, IT leaders are looking for vetted partners for protection.
XX% of organizations say Edge must be secured with data and application security services (e.g. WAF, Botnet protection, DDos mitigation) before they’d considering purchasing it.
XX% of orgs say they need built in security.
XX% of organizations agree that Integrated security services are a must-have capability for deploying apps to the cloud edge.
